How I picture the seller:
Dang, I can't even be mad with a face like that.
What he ment: "I can't believe you actually brought this obvious Fake, who would sell name brand shoes for only 50% of the price" What he wrote: "Hehe"
You've been struck by a smooth criminal
the seller:
hehe
Got my head straight to this short (sorry, it's Youtube): hehe
He bought overpriced shoes - so he's a dumbass - and he got them from some rando instead of an actual store. I guess he never heard the term "buyer beware."
Yeah I guess you're right. Amazon really should allow counterfeit goods because in all cases you are an idiot and it's your fault if you buy them /s
Just because I had two opinions in the same comment doesn't mean you should get the fleet the two. If you buy something without verifying its source you are stupid. If you buy overly expensive shoes you are stupid. See they're two different things. I'm just using this case as a chance to jab at the stupidity of buying the overpriced shoes while also jabbing at the stupidity of buying something without verifying it's authenticity. It's a two-for-one.
I think the expression is "Caveat emptor", though it translates to "let the buyer beware".
Didn’t know Marks & Spencer’s even made pumps.
Lmao no sympathy for anyone who buys expensive shoes. You're gonna cram your stinky feet in them then stomp around in the dirt. May as well buy designer toilet paper.
Edit: alright then ya'll keep buying $600 shitkickers because they have a picture of a rich guy on the side or Limited Edition blorange-colored laces.
Buy decent shoes that last well and provide good support. Anything else is stupid.
Once you're older than 15 you will discover that a few things in life can have a massive impact on your general well being and health, and it absolutely makes sense to spend big on those. Good shoes are one of these things, a quality mattress appropriate for your body type is another.
Exceptions can be made for shoes that have a special purpose, e.g. hiking boots or dress shoes in my opinion. For everyday stuff I look for the cheapest neutral looking ones that fit well
Agreed on point about special purpose footwear. However disagree with both you and OPs point about not investing in footwear and seemingly choosing options based at least mostly on cost.
Cheap footwear leads to a variety of other health / joint / posture issues that cost far more in the long run.
All new shoes are going to feel okay when you first get them. Something people forget is how a cheap shoe will degrade over time. Common example is soles wearing down unevenly because say the insole or outsole is made out of something cheap. Now you need to walk on a slightly uneven footing for months till you buy a new pair, thus furthering the damage created by ever other cheap pair of shoes you've bought over the years.
Shoes, tires, matress; dont skimp.
Buy good shoes, a good mattress, and a good chair. You'll spend 95% of your life in them, be comfortable
Thank you!
